The Saints hosted former first-round pick Noah Fant for a visit today. The free agent met with the Bengals yesterday and comes to New Orleans as tight ends Taysom Hill and Foster Moreau are still sidelined with knee injuries. Tight end Juwan Johnson says he’d be an explosive option for the Black and Gold.

Cut 19 (17) “…room better.”

Fant has 300 catches for over three thousand yards in his six-year career. He ranked 18th among tight ends with 500 yards for the Seahawks last season. Johnson compared his potential addition to Jimmy Graham and Benjamin Watson sharing a tight end room in New Orleans.

Jake Haener took the starting reps at quarterback today. Safety Justin Reid says the young group has struggled early on in camp, and it’s the defense’s job not to take it easy on them.

Cut 20 (17) “…week one.”

Spencer Rattler had his second perfect passing day in just three practices. The team will have its first practice with pads Monday.

Louisiana is establishing a new legislative task force on NIL, chaired by Homer Representative Rashid Young, a former Grambling State football player. The task force is made up of athletic directors, business leaders and college athletes and will meet monthly to discuss recommendations for future state laws on NIL compensation. Recommendations are planned for the January 2026 legislative session.
